Context is everything. Resistance is everything. They are inseparable to fighting. You will never fight against someone who will just let you do whatever you want.
At Zenyo, we don’t practice in a way that isn’t real. We strive to always train against resistance, in the context of a real opponent.
Jiu Jitsu is not so much about techniques but about context. You have to adapt to someone always resisting against what you want to do. In the fight, you will find things that you are able to do—your abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
These are unique.
That’s why we focus our training on the complexity of resistance. No kata here! You will only discover what you are capable of by realizing you are intricately linked to your environment, that nothing can be separated.
As soon as you try to separate bits and pieces, what you are doing becomes fake, unreal.
Keep it real. Fight for real.
